Most teams that run Odoo eventually hit the same wall: an external system — a headless storefront, a mobile app, a partner portal, a data pipeline, or a low-code tool — needs to read and write Odoo records over clean, predictable HTTP. Odoo ships with XML-RPC and JSON-RPC endpoints, but those are RPC-shaped, not resource-shaped: every call is a method invocation like execute_kw against res.partner, authentication is a login round-trip that returns a numeric uid, and there is no natural concept of GET /partners/42 or DELETE /orders/17. Integrators end up hand-rolling wrappers, wrestling with search_read domain syntax, and re-implementing the same auth and pagination glue on every project. That work is where budgets and timelines quietly bleed out.

This is a build-to-order REST gateway that ECOSIRE designs and builds against your specific Odoo models and workflows. We add a routed controller layer (http.Controller with @http.route(..., type='json'|'http', auth='...')) that maps standard HTTP verbs onto Odoo ORM operations: GET for search_read with filtering, field selection, sorting and pagination; POST for create; PUT/PATCH for write; and DELETE for unlink. Requests and responses are served as JSON by default, with XML available where a legacy consumer requires it. Every endpoint sits behind a real authentication scheme — API-key or token headers backed by a dedicated integration user — so you are never passing raw session cookies or embedding master credentials in client code.

Security is enforced at the Odoo layer rather than bolted on. The gateway runs each request in the context of a scoped API user, so your existing ir.model.access.csv matrix and ir.rule record rules apply unchanged — an integration that should only see its own company's sale.order records physically cannot read another company's. We add per-key rate limiting, request/response logging for auditability, input validation against your model's field definitions, and consistent typed error envelopes (proper 400/401/403/404/409/422 status codes with machine-readable bodies) so consumers can handle failures deterministically. Computed fields (@api.depends), related fields, and Many2one/One2many/Many2many relations are serialized in a documented, stable shape, and we can expose custom action endpoints (e.g. "confirm this sale order", "validate this picking") that call your business methods instead of forcing clients to replicate workflow logic.

Because this is made to order, the build starts with a scoping call, not a download. We confirm exactly which models and fields are exposed, the auth model, versioning strategy, and which Odoo edition and version you run — the gateway is delivered for Odoo 17.0, 18.0, or 19.0, and we account for Community vs Enterprise differences (Enterprise-only models such as certain accounting or field-service objects are only exposed if your edition includes them). You receive installable source in a proper module with a clean __manifest__.py, we deploy it to your staging environment for UAT, then to production. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope.

Pricing starts from $999 (indicative, single-company base scope); the number of exposed models and custom action endpoints, multi-company record-rule isolation, XML alongside JSON, webhook/outbound callbacks, and OpenAPI documentation depth increase the quoted scope. You get a fixed quote after the scoping call — never a surprise invoice.
